Celebrating a combined 38 Years of Dedicated Service: 

Farewell to Our Esteemed Governing Board Members, 

Robert Ethridge and Chief John Williams

It is with mixed emotions that we bid farewell to Robert Ethridge and Chief John Williams, dedicated members of our Altar Valleys School's governing board, as they retire after an incredible 38 years of combined service to our community. As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, it is essential to take a moment to reflect on their invaluable contributions and the lasting impact they have had on our school and community.

John and Bob have been an integral part of our school's governance, providing wisdom, guidance, and unwavering support throughout their tenure. They have brought a wealth of experience, insight, and a deep commitment to educational excellence that has helped shape the direction and success of our district.

During their 38 years of service, they have played a pivotal role in numerous initiatives and decisions that have enhanced the quality of education and enriched the learning experiences of our students. They have tirelessly advocated for the needs of our school community, championed important policies, and worked collaboratively with fellow board members, administrators, faculty, staff, and parents to ensure the continued growth and development of our school.

Beyond their professional expertise, they have always been a source of inspiration and encouragement, fostering a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and excellence within our school community. Their dedication, integrity, and passion for education and our community have left an indelible mark on all who have had the privilege of working alongside them.

As we express our gratitude for their outstanding service, we also extend our warmest wishes for their retirement. While they may be stepping down from their official role on the governing board, their legacy will continue to resonate throughout our school for years to come.

Thank you, Robert Ethridge and Chief John Williams for 38 years of dedicated service, leadership, and steadfast commitment to our school. Your passion for education and tireless efforts have truly made a difference, and your presence will be greatly missed. Wishing you all the best in your well-deserved retirement!
